Lowell discovered that he couldn’t remove the trending topic this time since Payne was behind this.
Lowell hesitated for a few seconds before calling Rory.
Rory grimaced impatiently as he answered the phone, saying, “What?”
“I’m sorry, Mr. Casper. I was unable to get rid of the topic. Payne claims that it can’t be erased in less than twelve hours.”
“Okay.”
Rory hung up.
Silence came over him as he stared at his lighted cigarette. What Raina said to him kept playing in his mind.
“Are you in love with Becky, Rory?”
“No.”
“In that case, why don’t you marry me?”
“Because I have no affection for you.”
“What would you say if Becky asked to have you back? Are you going to say yes?”
“That’s not going to happen.”
“Becky won’t want you back. I can see in her eyes that she no longer adores you.”
When Raina told him this, she gazed at him with a grin of victory.
He had no idea why she would think she’d won.
But for some reason, just seeing Raina grin made him furious.
Rory snorted as he snuffed out his cigarette and drove away from the hospital.
Becky’s tweet topped the search results for twelve hours.
Raina and Rory were the main targets of the negative comments. Becky’s tweet indicated that not only Raina had pretended to commit suicide and set Becky up, but also Rory had offered Becky three hundred million dollars to end it all.
Rory was very rude!
Although he seemed annoyed, Aiken still explained his plan. “Devin is chasing after Becky only to annoy you, isn’t he? You don’t need to be pissed off if he begins to chase Raina.”
“When have I ever been pissed off?”
Rory scowled and clearly didn’t agree with Aiken.
Aiken remarked, “Tsk! There’s no need for denial. Never believe for a second that I don’t realize how unsettling it is for you that Devin is pursuing Becky.”
Rory replied with a scowl, “Not only do you get bad breath, but you’re also blind.”
“How dare you? Holy crap, Rory! Go ahead and pretend that you don’t care for Becky. Don’t forget to send your best wishes to Becky and Devin on the occasion of their wedding.”
Aiken became angry. He snorted and left in his car.
Rory was the kind of guy who deserved to be alone for the rest of his life.
Deep inside, he felt relieved that Becky finally got rid of Rory.
